One of the best ways to break the ice on a first date is to challenge your guest to a friendly, playful game of shuffleboard. Numerous restaurants and bars across the country feature the game, allowing patrons to create memories on a custom-built McClure table, in some cases planting the seed for a relationship that eventually turns serious. Once your first date is well behind you, and you've been officially with your partner for a long time, there is another milestone you'll eventually have to reach that will give you just as many, if not more, butterflies in your stomach. Meeting your significant other's parents can be nerve-racking, as you want to impress them while also making sure everyone is comfortable. You can use table shuffleboard to parlay the success of your first date into an occasion where just the right amount of competitive spirit shines through, helping both couples break the ice and show their true colors.
You can either take your boyfriend or girlfriend's parents to a local establishment that features table shuffleboard, or impress them with your own shuffleboard table within the game room of your house. McClure Tables offers a wide array of designs in regulation sizes or more compact 9-foot models that will fit wonderfully in game rooms of any dimension.
By recreating the experience that brought you and your partner together in the first place, you are sure to find common ground with your potential in-laws by challenging them to a casual game of Knock-Off or to a more challenging exercise like Horse Collar or Crazy Eight.
